Soil and water conservation effects of stone bunds at different scales – a case study from Gumara-Maksegnit watershed, Lake Tana Basin, Ethiopia
Various soil and water conservation (SWC) interventions across the Ethiopian farmlands are supposed to prevent ongoing land degradation and soil depletion related to rainfall driven soil erosion.
Assessing the impact of soil and water conservation structures in the Ethiopian highlands. A case study from the Lake Tana Basin.
Without well planned adaptation efforts climate change is predicted to affect the agricultural
sector in Eastern Africa and to ultimately reduce agricultural yields and hamper efforts to achieve
food security and reduce ...
Evaluation of the Impact of Stone Bunds on Soil Loss and Surface Runoff in the Gumara Maksegnit Watershed, Northern Highlands of Ethiopia.
Ethiopia is highly affected by land degradation and one of the key problems is soil erosion. It is mainly caused by
the rapid population increase, deforestation, low vegetation cover and unbalanced livestock and crop ...
Impact of vetch cover crop on runoff, soil loss, soil chemical properties and yield of chickpea in North Gondar
Cover crops improve the sustainability and quality of both natural system and agro ecosystem. In GumaraMaksegnit
watershed which is located in Lake Tana basin, farmers usually use fallow during the rainy season for
the ...
Investigation of the Impact of Stone Bunds on Erosion and Deposition Processes Combining Conventional and Tracer Methodology in the Gumara Maksegnit Watershed, Northern Highlands of Ethiopia
Ethiopia is one of the most populous countries in Africa, with over 85% of the total
population dependent on agriculture. Massive deforestation in the past and missing soil and
water conservation (SWC) measures cause severe ...
Improving Sorghum Productivity in Waterlogged Vertisols in North Gondar, Ethiopia.
Sorghum is a major crop in Vertisols of the North Gondar zone in Ethiopia. Due to
waterlogging on these Vertisols, the crop may stay in the field for more than seven months and
productivity is extremely low. Sorghum ...
Impact of Vetch Cover Crop on Runoff, Soil Loss, Soil Chemical Properties and Yield of Chickpea in North Gondar, Ethiopia. Purdue 2016.
Cover crops improve the sustainability and quality of both natural systems and agro
ecosystems. In the Gumara-Maksegnit watershed which is located in the Lake Tana basin of
Ethiopia, farmers usually use a fallow period ...
Modeling streamflow and sediment using SWAT in Ethiopian Highlands
The coincidence of intensive rainfall events at the beginning of the rainy season and unprotected soil conditions after extreme dry spells expose the Ethiopian Highlands to severe soil erosion. Soil and water conservation ...
